Marcus Rashford's brother aims dig at Jose Mourinho after Man Utd beat Tottenham

Marcus Rashford's brother seemingly poked fun at Jose Mourinho after Manchester United's victory over Tottenham

Mourinho's return to Old Trafford ended in defeat on Wednesday night as Rashford scored twice for a much-improved United side.

The victory sees United climb to sixth in the Premier League and relieves some of the pressure on boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

It was a special night for Rashford, who caught Paulo Gazzaniga out with a low drive for the opener, before scoring the winner from the penalty spot.

And his brother and agent Dwaine Maynard couldn't resist a cheeky pop at the England striker's former boss.

Maynard posted a picture on his Instagram of Mourinho looking particularly glum on the Old Trafford touchline, during his time as United manager.

The image appeared to be from United's Champions League encounter with Young Boys last term, with Mourinho publicly criticising Rashford after the match.

Rashford had earlier posted his own message on social media as he continued his good form under Solskjaer.

"Doubters just spur me on. A proper Old Trafford night and a great 3 points," he wrote.

On his match-winner, boss Solskjaer said: ""Today he played like he was in the backyard, the garden or back on the playground with his mates. He is enjoying himself.

"We do expect a lot from him because he has showed his ability so many times.

"You can define players by waiting or expecting things to happen or you can make things happen. He made them happen by his movement and decision-making, being direct and positive. This was a top performance."
